How to Wear Natural Hair Under a Wig Without Braids

If you're in the market for a wig and wish to conceal your natural hair, the back of your neck is an ideal spot. Most wigs have a bit more stretch in this area, making it easier to hide your natural hair. But how do you go about it without resorting to braids? This guide will explore different methods to ensure your natural hair is tucked safely beneath your wig with minimal fuss.

Hiding Your Natural Hair with Knots

If your natural hair is long enough, knotting it into a bun and placing it under the wig cap can be an effective solution. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Tie your hair in a bun: Use a good hair tie to secure the hair tightly, making sure it's smooth and compact. Position the bun underneath the wig cap: Place the bun beneath the elastic wig cap, ensuring it's centered and secure. Place the wig: Once the wig cap is positioned over the bun, put on the wig. The wig should stretch and mold around your bun, securing your natural hair inside.

Remember, using a wig cap can further help to keep your natural hair in place and smoothen out any lumps caused by your natural hair.

Alternative Solutions: Hats and Styling

For added assurance, a hat can be an excellent solution. It will keep your natural hair in place beneath the wig, allowing you to enjoy your wig without worrying about your natural hair having a life of its own!

Slicking Back and Plaiting

Another less traditional method involves slicking your hair back with hair gel in a tiny ponytail and pinning the end up. Alternatively, plaiting your hair into small plaits close to your scalp can also work wonders. Both these techniques ensure your natural hair is neatly concealed while maintaining a polished look.

Techniques from YouTube Influencers

You might want to explore YouTube for even more creative solutions. Mary from Msnaturally is one such YouTuber who offers a range of techniques, including her twist and pin method. She also crochet braids, which can be adapted for use with wigs as well.

By watching these tutorials and experimenting with different styles, you can achieve the perfect look without sacrificing the comfort or security of your wig.
